Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone can help, I'm a proud owner of a UK model EVO 6 TME which i'm having a slight issue with, I've tried googling the issue and checked forums thoroughly however cant find anything about it, I'm just hoping i'm not the only person having/had this issue.
So here goes, more and more frequently now i go to start the evo and everything is normal, all the lights come on, on the dash, the turbo gauges light up and the stereo comes on, so that's ignition on, then I go to start it and all I get is a click and what sounds like the fuel pump priming however no crank. I've found out this is the exact common issue with some EVO 8, 9 and 10 but it always turns out to be a faulty clutch switch, well the 6 is not new enough to have depress clutch to start function? so there is no clutch switch!? (I'm assuming)
The only thing that I've done is replace the battery, then the problem started? It seems like its a immobilisor issue or maybe the starter motor but the thing is if i persist eventually it'll start, once it cranks it starts instantly. people with the clutch switch issue say by rolling it back and trying again it'll start, this doesn't work. I just have to wait until it feels like cranking. its obviously an electrical issue as I don't have to bump or jump start it, it'll randomly just go, i used to be able to switch the ignition off and on quickly and it would crank but thats starting to not work more and more. was stuck in a sainsbury's car park for 20mins trying to google it the other day.
Btw its serviced regularly, only used max of twice a week for a round trip of a maximum of 50 miles, otherwise is garaged, sometimes not used for more than a week.
any ideas/information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Dave.
